The 11th is an odd day - no bikes allowed in Millcreek.

How about City Creek to the towers? I have only done a little bit of that ride, I would like to go to the top.

[/quote] How long of a ride is it? do you think we can finish it before dark if we start at 6pm? I am a bit slow on the climb and prefer a good technical down but a trail we havn't done is appealing. Any link to details?[/quote]
To get to the radio towers from the mouth of City Creek is about 8 miles round trip. I can get from my house in the Aves to the top of the climb and back in less than an hour. It's lots of climbing to start off with, but once you get to the rich folks homes, the climbing is easier (with one rocky, steep exception). From then on it's rolling mostly. The track is mostly smooth (not Mueller smooth, but more like City Creek to Bobsled), but there are some really tight switchbacks on the climb where if you screw up, you can get hurt pretty good.
Here's a link to a topo map. Some of the parts that this map says are under construction are done.

What's the final word? I'll go if it's not too dangerous of a ride. Can't have any broken bones, bruises or abrasions for basic! I got in trouble for falling down at the hot pots...again...I have some REALLY good pics this time sombeech. Haha. Let me know where you guys are going.

"We ride with kings on mighty steeds
Across the devils plain
We've walked with Jesus and his cross
He did not die in vain, NO!"So, Kid, you think you got what it takes to be a Punch King?

Nice pictures ! We loaded my bike in the back of the truck after talking with you and drove to the top to get my truck and some how my bike had fallen out during the short drive. Lucky for me someone had put it in the drive way of a house near the park. I thought for sure that I had just lost a 6000.00 bike. Isn't there a trail somewhere in Park City that you rode that had a free ride jump park ? I would like to do that ride on a Tuesday sometime.
